It's Monday! What am I reading?

I'm back after a two-week stint of travel (yes, again) and recovery from said travel. Sometimes it takes me a couple of days to recover, but coming off a cruise where I got no sleep and turning right around for a family visit up north for four days where I got no sleep left me pretty much fried. So I spent the past week sleeping and reading. A vacation from my vacations, so to speak.

This meme is hosted by Sheila, at One Person's Journey Through A World of Books. Every week (okay, not last week because I was asleep pretty much all of last Monday) I offer my thanks to Sheila for hosting this. Today is no exception -- thank you!

So here's what's happening in my reading world -- I know it seems like a lot, but I had nothing but time--

Read and Not Reviewed Yet (I'll get there)The Amnesia Clinic, by James Scudamore (an excellent book, by the way)The Man From Saigon, by Marti LeimbachSeeker, by Jack McDevitt A Thousand Cuts, by Simon Lelic

currently: Currently I'm reading:Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy, by William Irwin andBlood Kin, by Ceridwen Dovey

plans for this weekIn a few days, April begins, so I'll be moving to a different reading topic -- this time I'll be reading books that eventually became movies. Here's the plan for this week:

The Road, by Cormac McCarthyIn Cold Blood, by Truman Capote I've read this one LOTS of times, but I love it so want to read it again

Alice and Wonderland and Philosophy sounds interesting. I just finished Alice I Have Been yesterday. Please come check out mine:http://tilwereadagain.blogspot.com/2010/03/its-monday-what-are-you-reading.html

I have the Magician on my TBR list for the Once Upon a Time challenge. I started it once but stopped reading it and never went back to it. not familiar with some of the other titles. Have to check them out. Have a great week.

You had a wonderful week and I like not only your selections for this week but your plan to read books that eventually were made into movies. Happy reading. My Monday: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/03/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-29.html

About Me

bottom line: I love to read.
I use this space to record and to talk about what I've read during the year. You won't see descriptions like "lush, lyrical prose" here ... I'm just an ordinary reader person who wants to share a love of the written word. I don't really "review" -- that's for the pros. I just offer opinions. Feel free to comment any time.
